SyncKolab3.1.6Requires Restart

SyncKolab can synchronize your calendar, address book and tasks against an IMAP server in Kolab formats version 1 (vCard/iCal) or version 2 (XML) or turn your Thunderbird/Lightning into a native Kolab Client (http://kolab.org).

About this Add-on

NOTE: PLEASE WRITE BUG REPORTS INTO BUGZILLA OR AS MAIL (mailing list/directly) - NOT IN THE COMMENTS!

SyncKolab reads a selected Imap folder and synchronizes it with the local address book and calendar. It uses vCard/iCal/xml as format. Using shared-IMAP folders or a Kolab server (www.kolab.org) you can achieve almost fully collaboration functionality (there is an autosync option).

There are clients for android, ios, outlook and more available.Make sure that you specify a different folder for each type of sync (one for calendar one for contacts and one for tasks) - mixing types is not a good idea!

IssuesAgain: Please do not write issues in the comment section (I can only reply once!). Please write a bug in bugzilla or write me directly.

Make sure that you have at least one IMAP account setup (synckolab does not work with POP!)

Check if you have at least one address book other than "collected" addresses

If no Calendar has yet been created, create one.

Make sure not to use the "collected address" address book for sync. Use another one (you can copy collected addresses to this).

If sync suddenly stops or you do not see anything in the cnfiguration window, make sure to enable javascript errors by adding following line in your prefs.js (located in your profile folder)user_pref(“javascript.options.showInConsole”, true); Make sure Thunderbird is CLOSED when editing this file, otherwise it will be overwritten!

You can manualle set the logging level to debug by adding: user_pref("SyncKolab.debugLevel", 3); to your prefs.js. This should give more output when even configuration does not seem to work.

Installation notice:After installing/restarting tbird: rightclick on the icon bar (next to Stop) go to customize and drag the "Sync Kolab" Icon to the bar, this way you can also include the calendar icon.

ErrorsIf sync suddenly stops or you do not see anything in the cnfiguration window, make sure to enable javascript errors by adding following line in your prefs.js (located in your profile folder)

user_pref(“javascript.options.showInConsole”, true);

Make sure Thunderbird is CLOSED when editing this file, otherwise it will be overwritten!
